I know the feeling. They hit my limit with the introduction of WGA. That made me do away with my legal version of XP and fall back to my also legal version of Windows 2000, which I now only boot to use Photoshop. For everything else it is Linux. And in time Photoshop will be replaced too, to make this a Microsoft free home.
